Luca Arena (1988) è nato il primo giorno di primavera alle 9:30. È daltonico da 30 anni e ogni giorno cerca di farsene una ragione. Ha studiato economia e marketing presso l’Università di Pisa e nel tempo libero si dedica a viaggi e reportage fotografici. Molto legato al tema dei colori e alla loro percezione nel contesto ambientale, ama fotografare palazzi e finestre concentrandosi sulle linee e sulle geometrie.
Per le sue fotografie si ispira ai quadri di Edward Hopper, David Hockney e Mark Rothko, nonché alle fotografie di Luigi Ghirri e Josef Hoflehner. Ha all’attivo diverse mostre personali e collettive. Il suo recente lavoro “Impersonalism: Tenerife” è stato presentato al pubblico con una mostra personale presso Spazio 32 di La Spezia, luogo di riferimento culturale di Fondazione Carispezia.
